Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. What is Kawasaki virus?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease is primarily caused by bacterial or viral infections leading to systemic facial lymph syndrome. It typically presents with acute fever and red rashes, and is most commonly seen in children under the age of 5. It is recommended to immediately take the child to a local regular hospital pediatric department for follow-up. Because Kawasaki disease may lead to serious complications, hospitalization and understanding treatment are necessary. Generally, corticosteroid drugs are used under the guidance of a doctor.
